SORRY, LADIES
Those heels are no good on boat decks. It’s bare feet or boating shoes only when boarding the yachts. It’s a great opportunity to go shopping for Super Cute Boat Shoes!

Black sole shoes leave scuff marks. Wear proper boat shoes or expect to take off those hard soles before boarding each boat.
